emerge -upd world and emerge -up world both list these upgrades: [ebuild UD] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.1-r2 [2.3.2_pre1] [ebuild U ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.3123-r2 [1.0.4191-r1] [ebuild UD] media-libs/freetype-2.1.2-r2 [2.1.3-r2] As you can see the versions installed are higher than the versions being recommended. These are not masked and i manually emerge blah.ebuild to install these. Minor note was that i didn't find any duplicate bugs on this. Also these packages are working fine for me. Clark
